"This is their heritage. The Holy Spirit Society paid such a huge price to be able to make it onto the rankings. The League of Defender didn't even send out their most powerful Lord Immortal to make it onto the rankings. Furthermore, they obtained two stars above the Holy Spirit Society. "
"Indeed, the League of Defender is too strong."
"You can't say that. With so many precedents, the League of Defender was able to formulate the corresponding strategy. It can't be said that their strength is definitely stronger than the Holy Spirit Society. It's just that the people and skills they use are just right."
"That's true, but they're still too strong."
"They reached the Golden Palace at such a fast speed, but they only obtained two stars. From the looks of it, the speed of reaching the Golden Palace doesn't seem to be the standard for obtaining stars?"
Everyone was somewhat surprised by the League of Defender's speed on the rankings.
Be it strategy or strength, to be able to do this, no matter what the reason was, it could only be said that they were too strong.
Zhou Wen also saw their method of clearing the level. This method wasn't very useful because it required the cooperation of three abilities.
Time, space, and Great Skyfiend's speed were indispensable.
Zhou Wen had Great Skyfiend's speed, so he wasn't slower than her. He also had spatial powers, but he didn't have time powers. Unless he could find a time-elemental expert like Cave Era to augment him with time powers, he would be able to reach the Golden Palace before the seventh shot.
In-game, Zhou Wen had already tried many times. It was very difficult to reach the Golden Palace before the seventh shot was fired purely based on speed.
Unfortunately, there was no reward for reaching the Golden Palace in-game, nor could he open the door. Zhou Wen wasn't interested in such a method. He still had to think of a way to crack the seventh bullet and kill the hidden Calamity-grade creature.
After the League of Defender appeared on the rankings, no other creatures continued appearing on the rankings.
Tsukuyomi, Fallen, Great Skyfiend, and Ya. There were only four creatures on the rankings.
I wonder how many stars the Magic Cube will give me if I kill that Calamity creature? Zhou Wen thought to himself.
A message notification sounded. Zhou Wen imagined that it was Liu Yun again, but to his surprise, it was Hui Haifeng who sent it.
"Zhou Wen, is there any way to reach the Golden Palace?" Hui Haifeng's message was very direct.
"Yes." After watching Great Skyfiend and company's battle, Zhou Wen was even more certain that the Venus dimensional zone in reality was the same as in-game. Calamity-grade bullets would only shoot creatures with the highest life levels.
"Do me a favor and lead the team up there," Hui Haifeng said.
"What for?" Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement. He wasn't sure why they liked being on the rankings so much. Why would they go up if they knew they couldn't get first place?
Hui Haifeng explained, "The people of the Federation now have a weaker sense of belonging to the Federation. If we don't do something, who will be proud of being a citizen of the Federation in the future? Maybe in a few years, people will only know about the League of Defender and the Holy Spirit Society, and the Federation will no longer be in their hearts."
"Is there a problem?" Zhou Wen didn't have any sense of belonging to the Federation, so he didn't think there was a problem.
Hui Haifeng sighed and said, "Humans are warlike creatures to begin with. They want to fight for everything. With the Federation's system, there can still be some coordination between the various parties. If there comes a day when this fig leaf is gone and the various parties shed all pretenses to fight for control, who do you think will be the most unlucky one?"
Zhou Wen understood what Hui Haifeng meant. Once such a situation happened and the various factions fought for supremacy, it was unknown how many people would die. The ones who would suffer the most would be the ordinary people.
"I can only think of a way to get on the rankings, but I can't guarantee that the results will be good." Zhou Wen didn't wish for such a situation to happen.
"It's fine as long as you can get on the rankings. How can you care so much now?" Hui Haifeng said, "When can we go? What do we need to prepare?"
"Let me think about it. There are some things I haven't figured out yet. I need to be fully prepared," Zhou Wen said after some thought.
"Alright, give me a list of what you need." Hui Haifeng wasn't lacking in money. With the Mythical Fluid business in hand, the Hui family was one of the richest families.
Just in terms of money, the Hui family might be richer than the six families. However, their heritage and accumulation were lacking. There were some things that couldn't be bought even with money and Mythical Fluid.
"Are there any Companion Beasts that add Luck?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Lucky Companion Beasts are relatively rare. I can find them, but the highest is at the Mythical stage. I'm afraid I won't be able to find any higher," Hui Haifeng said.
"Any level is fine." Zhou Wen still wanted to give it a try and see if he could gather a set of Lucky equipment.
"Alright, wait for my news." Hui Haifeng hung up.
Zhou Wen knew that this wasn't easy. Lord Fourth Duke didn't have high requirements. As long as he could get on the rankings, it wouldn't be difficult for him to help him get on the rankings.
However, it wouldn't be that simple to help Hui Haifeng get on the rankings. If he was ranked below the League of Defender and the Holy Spirit Society, there wouldn't be much meaning to getting on the rankings.
After two to three days, Hui Haifeng didn't send any messages. It was probably because Lucky Companion Beasts were really difficult to find. Even if others had them, they would hatch them themselves and rarely sell them.
The only good news was that An Sheng, An Tianzuo, and company had finally returned. Zhou Wen couldn't keep staying in Overseer Manor.
"Is it done?" When Zhou Wen saw An Sheng, he saw that An Sheng didn't seem happy.
"It's done. I did find a Primordial Crystal mine there, but the reserves are much less than expected. It's probably only tens of thousands of cubes," An Sheng said.
"That's still not enough?" Zhou Wen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard that it was tens of thousands of cubes.
"To the average person, it's indeed a lot, but to an accelerator, materials refined from tens of thousands of cubes of Primordial Crystals are only enough for half a shot."
Zhou Wen was alarmed when he heard that. In the past, he only knew that the accelerator definitely expended a lot of energy; otherwise, it would be impossible for it to have such great might. However, he never expected it to be so expensive. Tens of thousands of cubes of Primordial Crystals were only enough for half a shot. If it were to fire two or three shots, the An family would definitely go bankrupt.
"However, it's better than nothing. Let's take it slow. After all, the accelerator is only a form of deterrence. There probably won't be many opportunities to use it in the future." An Sheng still had something to do, so he chatted with Zhou Wen for a while before leaving.
Zhou Wen didn't need to stay in Overseer Manor any longer. He contacted Liu Yun and got him to arrange a meeting with Lord Fourth.
It was naturally impossible for him to meet Lord Fourth near Luoyang. Thankfully, Zhou Wen's teleportation abilities were very powerful, so it wasn't difficult for him to travel to a faraway place.
Finally, Zhou Wen chose Dosily Island in the West District to meet Lord Fourth. The island was very close to the mainland and was one of the few islands controlled by the Federation.
There was a dimensional zone that produced Lucky Birds, so Zhou Wen planned on taking the opportunity to take a look.
Lord Fourth readily agreed. The time and location were all up to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen didn't tell him the location first. All he did was tell him when and where to go. He would only tell him the exact location when they met.
Thankfully, nothing happened. When Zhou Wen saw Lord Fourth, he couldn't help but be surprised.
It was somewhat different from what Zhou Wen had imagined. Lord Fourth's name sounded like an elder, but the Lord Fourth that Zhou Wen saw was a middle-aged man. He looked refined and refined, making it impossible for anyone to associate him with the word "lord."
"We meet again," Lord Fourth said with a smile.
Jing Daoxian? Zhou Wen was alarmed when he heard his voice.
